How Witches Fill an Inner Need

At night, I cannot eat enough. What?

Have you had this experience? You eat something—something good like a dessert.

Then it’s chips.
Soda.
Cookies.
Cashews.
Peanut butter M&Ms.

(Not you? Am I alone here?)

Recently, I said, “You can’t satisfy an inner need with outer stuff.”

(But I’m willing to try.)

I have three insights for you.

1. What is your inner need?

    Some researchers suggest that we are 95% motivated by things in our subconscious mind.

    So how do you make the subconscious stuff visible to your conscious mind?

    You can meditate and ask the Gods about some of the driving factors.

    But, one of the most important things is to observe your actions.  

    Ever open a cupboard door looking for something to eat?

    You know that hunger—that no matter how much you eat—is never satisfied? Just close that cupboard door.

    It’s Halloween time in the United States. Or for us witches Samhain.
    How do you feel when you see the green-skinned, cackling caricature of a “so-called witch”?

    What does this cackling, green caricature need? Popcorn?

    Chocolate? Definitely chocolate.

    Let’s pull back. Away from that… What could be the inner need?

    Wanting comfort.

    So, how would you like to be comforted?

    (I do rely on my coffee in the morning…)

    2. Step on the path of “centered and whole.”

    Have you attended a ritual with other witches and felt at home?

    Or…

    You’re a solitary witch and your personal ritual came together well. You felt calm, but also invigorated!

    To get to “centered and whole” you need to push away distractions.

    So, what is distracting you?

    3. Ask the Goddess for clarity in the face of distractions.

    To me, cookies, pastries, and other treats are a plea for comfort. What about you?

    Here is a prayer you can use.

    Goddess, clear my mind,
    Free me from the mud of distracting thoughts and feelings.
    Flush me clean with the spring waters of Your love.
    Hold me close with Your arms around me.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support your path.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    A Wiccan Walks A New Path

    Moonwater’s new book.

    Do you ever think about how God and Goddess made everything? You look at a tree and you say, “That works.” You look at a waterfall, and you might say, “Ahhh, beautiful.”

    “How about a diet?” my husband asked me.

    “No! Humans made diets!” I said.

    No wonder, diets don’t work. Why? I’ve noticed that a diet seems to be so much about punishment.

    There’s a Myth that you can punish yourself into doing something good. Here’s what I discovered: I try to be good and eat only what is on the diet. And when I fail? I feel guilt that I wasn’t strong enough or good enough. I even went into self-shaming and self-loathing. I’m punishing myself for screwing up.

    In meditation, I realized that Goddess doesn’t work that way. Goddess loves us. And that provides a crucial insight.

    If diets don’t work, what does work?

    Loving yourself works. You love yourself so much that when you choose what you eat and how you exercise, you feel that you’re totally worth it. It could even become easy to lose the weight.

    How so?

    God and Goddess have given us the bounty of the earth. Good proteins, fruits and vegetables to fuel our bodies to grow and heal, and so much more. The God and Goddess want us to be all that we can be.

    December of last year, my doctor warned me that I had to lose weight. My extra weight was aggravating my asthma. More than that, I did not want to succumb to diabetes like my mother.

    However, I’d tried diets before and had failed miserably. What to do? Return to the Goddess. This time I’d approach the whole process differently. My journey would be about natural food (letting go, most of the time, of processed food and processed sugar). I’d incorporate ritual, keeping my sense of humor, protecting my personal energy and more.

    I choose a different lifestyle – one that honors the God and Goddess and honors myself. I choose the Goddess Style Weight Loss way of living now. And it works.

    I have lost 36.8 lbs. so far, and I feel so much better.

    What do you do when you have good news? You tell someone! So, I wrote a book to help others.

    It’s time to choose. Love or myth – What do you choose?

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater

    I don’t generally write reviews on books I’ve read…but this time i feel lead to. This book spoke volumes to me, as if the author knew exactly where I’m coming from and what I’m struggling with. It’s not often a book can make me cry, but this one did by making me see the many blocks I’ve put up in my life. I knew they were there, but I’ve gotten skilled at pretending they’re not. Thank you for helping me see I’m not some freak because of circumstances throughout my life that have caused the blocks, and that i need to stop hiding from or burying them and face them one step at a time. – Crystal Sparks
